Stories of Falling in Love in the Library

I'm intrigued by stories of love found in the library. After all, that's where I met my husband. If you have a romantic story of falling in love in the library, please share it here. It can be a story of falling in love with a librarian or of meeting someone while at the library.

This page should put to rest that old myth of the dowdy librarian. Despite the reading glasses and comfortable shoes, librarians can be fascinating people.

OK, I admit that this isn't my picture above. Years ago, when I was fresh out of library school, I worked in a public library in Maryland. The handsome son of one of my co-workers often dropped by to pick his mom up after work. The few comments we exchanged were not witty banter, by any means. Eventually we overcame our shyness of each other and moved into the dating stage. Love bloomed and about a year later, we got married. Maybe if I'd worn black silk stockings like the librarian in the picture, our romance might have moved along faster.

Did You Find Love in a Library?

No, not the romance section, I mean "true love" or at least the start of a romance of your own

    I used to work in a library for 6 year and while nothing as exciting as this ever happened I really did enjoy your story.
